Exponential 04:34
Hold me accountable for the first time The burden's becoming too hard to bear I can take your pain, my shame, if you want to Just as long as I have my name to spare So kick it, stick it to me If that's what you got to give No need to show it I've blown it already In time Will you ever be satisfied, satisfied No you won't Do I have to hide, to hide The cards are in your hands

Dune Buggy 04:59
Some type of confusion conflicts you from your head to your toes the sweat on your brow conveys how you know something nobody knows Well I'm behind it, you're entitled to your woes Self esteem gleams with perfect, but a darkness also shows Well you can try to evade the voice within But you will find a hole Never mind why you're asking why Just listen, just listen And you will figure it out

Standoff, staring in the mirror No clarity to what's looking back A man, maybe a figure Maybe even a plan to contend with But that's your own doing don't you know It's the same old song, senseless poetry Running on repeat every week sitting next to me next to me You've got the same old thing running on repeat And it's a bleak mixture of your worst weaknesses I've got to step outside, not to run or hide I just need some fresh air If you dare The fog is gone, the picture's clearer I shed my skin of the man I once was I did not mean to steer her A guiding hand is a laughing man It's the same old song, senseless poetry Running on repeat every week sitting next to me Next to me You've got the same old thing running on repeat And it's a bleak mixture of your worst weaknesses I've got to step outside not to run or hide I just need some fresh air If you dare It's the same old song, senseless poetry Running on repeat every week sitting next to me Next to me

Rewind 06:02
The more I try, the less I seem to understand An open hand now reprimanding me And so I go over in my head, over and over again Who said living hard was easy And so we go back to that time we had before When it was cool, and you were my lady And though I try to fight, I try and try Oh a fool's hope to abide by Falling, falling, falling, I just can't keep on falling down Falling, falling, falling, I just can't, I just can't Falling, falling, falling, I just can't keep on falling down Falling, falling, I'm just roaming around And so you take that picture frame off the wall The times we had, the times we care for And so I go back and say, "how far do I need to fall?" I guess back down to the ground And so we go back and try to make a way And so we go back to rewind That feeling I do love, yeah that feeling you want to get to me I try and try, oh a fool's hope to abide by Falling, falling, falling, I just can't keep on falling down Falling, falling, falling, I just can't, I just can't Falling, falling, falling, I just can't keep on falling down Falling, falling, I'm just roaming around

You shake me off while you tempt my eyes Bring me in with no compromise I shed my skin as I try to rise Through the thick of it, I hope you're listening Too many times I've been there before Another night on the kitchen floor and No road to an open door -- they're all gone I walk the line trying to meet you halfway Sacrifice so much more than I will ever say Tongue-tied I go on my way and you're gone So I only know how far I need to go To get there, to get where And so it goes, oh but I know While I'm fighting you keep on hiding So I follow like my father, and my brother after me Not through my own volition, though it's sobering I follow like my father, but never after me And now you're gone I walk the line trying to meet you halfway Sacrifice so much more than I will ever say Tongue-tied I go on my way and you're gone Maybe it's me, am I just paranoid? So much noise is filling that empty void So much so, I'm just annoyed But I'm strong So I only know how far I need to go To get there, to get where And so it goes, oh but I know While I'm fighting you keep on hiding So I follow like my father, and my brother after me Not through my own volition, though it's sobering I follow like my father, but never after me And now you're gone

Venus 04:59
It's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame We don't see each other anymore, anymore Because the blood and the beer in my veins Soon will be in vain no more It's so quiet and forlorn But a riot will storm It will break down the walls and the fences In your skin and in your bones The chaos in your head The chaos in your bones Oh, let it go Oh, let it go Come on Every day, every day, every day There's a picture running in my head, in my head Of Venus and the stars in the sky In the pines where god is drinking time It sends chills down my spine Down this valley of mind Where you salt lakes of timbre and tone flow Through our skin and through our bones The chaos in your head The chaos Oh, let it go Oh, let it go You were right about the music: it's not wasting your life It's just trying to live, it's just trying to live.

Kappa 05:33
Saw my reflection, two images merged to one Is it my perception, is it altered by the sun Nobody knows it besides my old man I think he's lost it, I guess that was the plan Oh isn't that what you want From the beginning you've been on the hunt Searching, lurking, watching, hurting It may be fun Well watch yourself until you are done You're the father, you're the preacher You're the one that's making noise I'm the weak one, I'm the meek one, Oh do I have a choice You're the shepherd, you're the teacher You're the evil rising up Oh I have a voice Why don't you watch me now Let's bring it down now, let's cut out the noise You see me crawling, oh do I have a choice Because I've been wandering for oh so long Binding my will to all that's known I don't know how far to go The rhythm flows Don't you know Oh isn't that what you want From the beginning you've been on the hunt Searching, lurking, watching, hurting It may be fun Well watch yourself until you are done You're the father, you're the preacher You're the one that's making noise I'm the weak one, I'm the meek one, Oh do I have a choice You're the shepherd, you're the teacher You're the evil rising up Oh I have a voice Why don't you watch me now You cast your resolutions babe Cause you don't think that I know who you are Playing games with those that bore you Can only leave a nasty scar Well I will be right behind you Following your trail to the end You may wear your disguises But you know that you just can't pretend Flowing with the wild, flowing with the wind Making people smile that's your only sin I'm the father, I'm the preacher I'm everything I'm the weak one, I'm the meek one I'm the father, I'm the preacher I'm the one that's making noise I'm the weak one, I'm the meek one, Do I have a choice You're the shepherd, you're the teacher You're the evil rising up Oh I have a voice Why don't you watch me now

Here it comes, in atom waves Never all at once, the feeling sways me I give in, it's bigger than me Bigger than all I've ever seen It's plain to me Because I tried, tried, tried Tried to let go But I can't live alone, no, no No I need to share, care, stare Breathe your air Someone to live with, Laugh with Someone to love with Find me someone to love with Someone to love with Longing for someone to love with Someone to love with Find me someone to love with Someone to love with Find me someone to love with Here I go, this feeling I don't know Because I've been walking the same road Until the soles of my shoes are worn Down in the bloodline A brother's running on bought time Not a sense of what I may need Until I bleed this oil dry Because I tried, tried, tried Tried to let go But I can't live alone, no, no No I need to share, care, stare Breathe your air Someone to live with, Laugh with Someone to love with Find me someone to love with Someone to love with Longing for someone to love with Someone to love with Find me someone to love with Someone to love with Find me someone to love with

Waking up sometimes, I don't know where to go In the city that never sleeps, hearts beating for the show But I won't wake for monday morning When my time will come Well no, no, no, no, no, I won't wait around Because people come, and people go Following signs of things they don't know But I, I will make, I will make a stand Until I find my way Oh, because I'm cool with walking blind No scaffold around me I'll be fine for the time being Because what you do and where you go Has little to do with what you know Because people come, and people go Following signs of things they don't know But I, I will make, I will make a stand Until I find my way What's the cost of living when the living is lost What's the loss of giving when it comes with a cost It's lost
